This is why I'm wary. Flash is going to be unsupported by the end of this year or close to it. We don't know where the game is going in response to that so you could well be right. Event cycles like this might indicate heading in the direction you mentioned.

no need to alternative to flash... people don't understand one thing... they stop SUPPORT for flash... which means no more updates... but the existing content on flash will still be available... hell they stopped support for windows xp but you still find a lot of machines (in offices) that still use it... the game will not die because of this... the game will die because of mis-management on oasis..
